[b]Playing with children during holidays in open spaces or gardens is something unique that fills a happy atmosphere with them and also ourselves. It will be a good exercise to us also, and brings the real love and closeness with children....that adds as a memory to them too... Please share your thoughts...[/b]

Hi busybee10, during the childhood of my kid I liked to invite children from my siblings and good friends to have outdoor activities either in the park or at the beach. The kids really enjoyed the fun playing together with so many playmates they were familiar with in places which they were favorite. The young were so energetic and seemed never would get tired when they got together with so many playmates. We, the adults would sit under the shade and enjoyed our endless chatting after preparing the foods and beverages. Lol...some of us would be asked to be the judges in their games. There was time we would participate in certain games. There was nothing more pleasant than to join in the activities together with the innocent kids. From the bursting out of laughter every now and then could see and realize how happy the time was when playing with kids Have a nice day

[b]hi dear lkbooi, your response took me back 50 years of memories when such atmosphere was even spent by me...playing in the mud, in water, making kites and flying them,making small paper airplanes and flying oh so many - but now no one even know this in our place...every one is engaged on the computer to spend time and parents also do not encourage for out door games these days as we do not-have playgrounds at our place... Thanks for your kind response....[/b]

People here are still considered to be lucky as there are two playgrounds yet to be here for children having fun in the evening. My kid has grown up and I could see parents accompany their kids respectively playing swings, seesaws, slides, etc. They are no longer wooden. They are in colorful plastic form There are indoor children playground available in the hypermarkets and shopping mall. Yeah, life has changed a lot kids nowadays live different way of life nowadays. What they indulge in most of the time are computer games as well as tv cartoon series and never involve in those interesting outdoor games which we were quite interested in during our younger days It's healthier for kids to expose to fresh air agmonst the natural green I suppose Have a nice day!

[b]It is very glad to note the loving message shared and how nice it is to hear that you have two playgrounds.And also glad to note that parents also take interest in visiting these grounds where eye catching items are there for playing. I hope, it is parents who have to put a spark on the children's taste for play - this will surely add something good for children..[/b]

Yes, I agree busybee! I love playing with children. Sometimes, they can even teach us a thing or two if we spend some time with them.

Enjoying the Kids - Playing and picture-taking in the garden
Yes we should give time for playing. Not playing in the computer especially those FB games that have addicted many young and old alike but playing around our garden with the kids. At least they are given the chance to enjoy quality time with us. It also gives us the chance to enjoy feeling like a child again. My husband and I always do that because it does not only shed some pounds but more than anything else it shows us the value of giving time to kids. They feel important and loved and also secured all the time.

[b]Yes salonga ...I appreciate your transparent thoughts. these days many get engaged on the computer to play games - instead of making our m minds fresh they make us-tired and week too as we continuously sit for a couple of hours. Instead if the same time is spent on games outside that is more beneficial in many ways...[/b]

Yep, definitely playing with kids brings a whole new experience. I had to visit my cousins back then for a prayer meeting. I had to take care of my younger cousins since their nanny got fired, don't know the reason why. Anyway, we played basketball at the backyard and it was pretty fun. I was astounded at how simple the look at life and realized that I had already forgotten how I looked at it quite the same as they did. Pretty freaky stuff.

I am proud of hearing that...yes as you say we are really big kid....because if we do not become a kid with them then we cannot go into their world to understand ,hence if we become a kid the real happiness takes birth and they feel comfortable....
